I had made these instructions copied off somewhere a while back for setting up sshd service on windows...
add a new entry to system variables: New variable name is CYGWIN, variable value is ntsec Also add to the Path system variable and click the "Edit" edit button and append to it: ;c:\cygwin\bin open cygwin... (make sure openssh is installed, if not get it by running cygwin's setup.exe) Run:
ssh-host-config (on slower computers, it may take several minutes to generate the dsa keys)
When the script asks you about "privilege separation", answer yes When the script asks you about "install sshd as a service", answer yes When the script asks you for "CYGWIN=" your answer is ntsec start the sshd service
net start sshd
(or
cygrunsrv -S sshd)
harmonize Windows user information with cygwin, otherwise users cannot log into shh. mkpasswd creates a password file from Windows' user list...include Windows security information, but the actual passwords are determined by Windows, not by the content of /etc/passwd. mkgroup creates a group file from Windows' user list
mkpasswd --local > /etc/passwd mkgroup --local > /etc/group
